🐛 Bug

Here is my original docker compose:

services:
  db:
    image: mariadb:10.11.15
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./mysql:/var/lib/mysql
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: *****
      MYSQL_DATABASE: cypht
      MYSQL_USER: cypht
      MYSQL_PASSWORD: *****
  cypht:
    image: cypht/cypht:2.4.2
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "50210:80"
    environment:
      AUTH_USERNAME: admin
      AUTH_PASSWORD: *****
      DB_CONNECTION_TYPE: host
      DB_DRIVER: mysql
      DB_HOST: db
      DB_NAME: cypht
      DB_USER: cypht
      DB_PASS: *****
      SESSION_TYPE: DB
      USER_CONFIG_TYPE: DB
      ADMIN_USERS: admin

I execute docker compose down, change the cypht image from 2.4.2 to 2.5.1, and execute docker compose up -d. However, the error occurs:

Database connection successful ...
Database detected. Running migrations...
Running migrations...
Migrations completed.

Db setup finished
Creating directory for attachments /var/lib/hm3/attachments
Cannot load Xdebug - it was already loaded
Error: Unable to create user account.
user admin already exists
Cannot load Xdebug - it was already loaded

Seems like cypht fails to start due to trying recreate admin account?

Version & Environment

Rev: cypht/cypht:2.5.1

OS: docker

Hello @kevinend51,

Thank you for reporting this issue. The fix has been implemented in pull request #1782 and will be included in the next release.

In the meantime, here's a workaround: please delete the existing user before starting the container. This should resolve the container failure you're experiencing.
